The only doctor in a rural town in Western Australia’s Mid West has warned of a risk to residents’ health after repeated outages caused her to discard vaccines and medication. Residents of Mullewa, an inland town almost 500 kilometres north-east of Perth, have experienced seven extensive outages since November. The longest, according to Western Power, lasted 14 hours. Representatives of Western Power and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services this week met with about 100 members of the Mullewa community.
